Setting administrator access for RSDlite w/ Windows Vista

So I have been posting around this and PM people to get this answer, but people are avoiding me like I have AIDs and I live in the 90's (don't mean to offend)

I am trying to use .sbf file to go back to v2.01 and I cannot get RSD Lite to run as an administrator. I have unlocked my administrator account and I have disabled the UAC in attempts to run it as an administrator, but nope!

I am on a Compaq with Windows Vista 32-bit. and I do have multiple accounts on her ( for my girlfriend). But how do I get it to run as an administrator? And is that why RSD Lite won't recognize when I plug in my phone to the computer?

After you download the installer, *before you install RSD Lite*, right-click and scroll down to properties. And if at the bottom of the General Tab, if it says the something about this program needs to be "Unlocked because it has came from another computer" and click the Unlock button and MAGIC it works!!!

I rooted back to v2.0.1 on the first time and I am SOOOO glad now!

This seems to be the end of the road for this question on these forums and the entire internet. I've googled and googled, every discussion on rsd lite stops when this question is asked.

Does ANYONE know how to actually open the program?????

If your computer doesn't know how to read an .rar file, how for the love of god do you run the program?

A .rar file, in laments terms, is an equivalent to a .zip file. Download WinRar and extract the contents of the .rar file to a folder of your choice then go from there.
